Prior to taking an old Sony Vaio laptop for recycling I wanted to scrub the
hard drive.

First I used cfdisk and deleted each of the three partitions, wrote the
changes, then quit. For some reason this didn't work. Tried again, same
result. I'd like to understand why.

What did work was running 'rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'.
